Hey everyone! I have recently had a fairly big hair algae break out, and could not identify the source until I realized my skimmer pump was broken! I have since then, ordered a new skimmer, and it will be here soon. However I have also noticed that much of my clean up crew had died from a recent tank moving. I now need to get some more. I would like to prefer on hermit crabs, as they eat hair algae and I seem to have many outbreaks of that. However that could because of my lack of skimming. I have a 34 gallon red sea max 130D And have modified the back filter system a bit, as most of the stock items are not that good at filtering. So now to my question! What is the best clean up crew for this system? Also where is the best place to buy some? Thank you for all your help!

Clean up Crew

As much as many people hate reefs2go they cant really mess up Clean up crew and they always have package deals and they're usually free shipping... For hair algae, sea hares, some nudibranches, and even lawnmower blennies do a decent job at ridding hair algae... Sometimes emeralds will pick at corals... I had to banish all mine to the sump til I found them new homes just in case... I'm pretty sure one of them destroyed my sand sifting star actually (reason for banishment)

Like I said, many people hate them. I have never had issues with them for clean up crew though and they even threw in extra snails and crabs in case any died... I have had issues with other things though but nothing major... I wouldn't go try and order a hippo tang or anything from them but a quick easy cleaning crew came fine and worked fine
